Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado is angling for her country to hold “real” elections by as early as November.
Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez, a holdover from former dictator Nicolas Maduro’s government, is technically leading the state and has been fairly cooperative with the Trump administration to enact reforms in the meantime.
“We believe that a real transferring process with manual voting … could be done in nine to 10 months,” Machado told Politico Playbook’s Dasha Burns this week. “We have a legitimate leadership with huge popular support, and our armed forces are also supportive of a transition to democracy.”
